If one employee marries or enters into an intimate relationship with another employee, both may retain their positions so long as one is not under the direct or indirect supervision of the other and neither occupies a position of influence over the other’s employment, evaluation, promotion, compensation or any other personnel-related consideration.

6.03

For purposes of this policy, immediate family members are: parents, grandparents, sisters, brothers, spouses, domestic or civil union partners, children, in-laws or other person whose relationship is in loco parentis to the employee.
